Modest Flat maiden has shown an aptitude for hurdling; remote fifth at Punchestown in June; beaten 11l when fifth of 11 over C&D on latest in July; needs to improve again to get involved at the finish here.

Betting Forcast

100/1 Inver Bay, 100/1 Keep It Together, 100/1 Knockmark Angel, 10/1 A Pearl Starling, 12/1 Clementines Dream, 12/1 Dior Noir, 6/1 Killyclogher Rose, 7/2 Lily Parr, 5/4 Matrice, 4/1 Ready To Mingle

Verdict

It is a concern that MATRICE was beaten by a lower-rated rival here last Friday. However, she can make amends over this longer trip, with a theoretical 6lb in hand over Lily Parr who ran a fine over this distance at the Curragh last time. Ready To Mingle has sown promise, but is not guaranteed to stay. [Alan Sweetman]
